Life is good on long weekends. We celebrated with two hours of 2010 releases. You’ll hear the avant-pop of the Radio Dept, Steve Mason, and Class Actress… the deep beats of Alex Smoke marlboro, Lusine, and Clubroot…the soul stylings of Pursuit Grooves and HouseShoes. Join in. No reason is a good one.

We kicked off our new time slot with a pair of guest mixes from two special producers. Deaf Dot Electrics takes over the decks during hour one, dropping some original music, as well as new cuts from Pallers, Delorean, Shabazz Palaces, and Group Bombino. The second hour features Ruckus Roboticus unleashing some of his favorite contemporary hip-hop beats. Guilty Simpson, J Dilla, and Onra fans take notice! Thanks for tuning in, sending your feedback, and supporting community radio!

Starting this week The Beat Oracle will be now airing from 6pm to 8pm on Saturday nights. This time change comes due to an unfortunate FCC ruling on a complaint sent by WCRS‘s LPFM timeshare “partner” WCRX limiting WCRS‘s air time to 3-8pm every day. The reduction of 8-hours of community programming unheard elsewhere on the airwaves in Columbus is particularly devastating to both the community of listeners and the station’s viability.
If you would like to see WCRS air more hours of the day, we would appreciate it if you write a note with your support of WCRS and it’s local programming to these people at the FCC: taft.snowdon [at] fcc.gov, michael.wagner [at] fcc.gov, peter.doyle [at] fcc.gov, and alan.schneider [at] fcc.gov. Please include your name, address, and the file numbers DA 10-763 and 1800B3-MM and the call letters and facility number: WCRS facility # 132329
Regardless of that setback for our station, we believe 6-8pm Saturdays will be a great time to air. Our show can psych you up for your Saturday night goings-on. Tune in this week to hear brand new mixes from Beat Oracle favorites Ruckus Roboticus & Deaf Dot Electrics.
It’s another week of new, neu, nuevo, nuovo, nouveau. It’s all inclusive, Grade L-P radio wave, commercial-free, 100% downloadable, bloggable, mobile, wall-postable, grandma approvable sound organized in time! Brainfeeder buzz and Flying Lotus. Hear Herr Fehlmann in the city. Listen to Crystal Castles name another record after themselves. Bask in the latest audio releases from Warp. Reconfigure remixes from Ramadanman and Sbtrkt. Tweet yourself to the pleasures of Ellen Allien. Log in to something a little off.

A more abstract, subtle sound dominates this week’s show. It played out nicely as the evening wore on, and we were all pleased with the result. There are new releases from Manual, Lorn, and the legendary duo Autechre. Isan remixes Clouds, and the Black Dog provides a trip through an airport dystopia. There is a glimpse of a new Kompakt mix-CD, courtesy of Ewan Pearson, and Prins Thomas provides a startling, epic remix of Jaga Jazzist. May it find a home in your ears.
